[...] The development direction of sustainable finance is further clarified on the implementation path. In 2022, the People's Bank of China will take the lead in completing the G20's first sustainable finance framework document, the G20 Sustainable Finance Roadmap, and promote phased progress in the convergence of China-EU green classification standards. In addition, around the "dual carbon" goal, the development of China's green finance will also be significantly accelerated. For example, in November 2021, carbon emission reduction support tools were officially launched. [...]

[...] In Asia, and more precisely in China, it would be 5.9 million people. China, being one of the countries most affected by this scourge, is therefore forced to act. It is reported that indoor pollution, that is to say the one caused by coal and wood fires that release carbon monoxide, would be the most deadly. Outdoor pollution, caused by industries, heating smoke or car traffic, is also major in terms of damage. The often highly publicized images of people walking around in large Chinese cities, wearing masks to protect themselves, are no longer rare. [...]

[...] A fishing ban in 332 conservation areas along the river has been in place since early 2020. China's Great Green Wall project, carried out to combat desertification, is also considered a flagship project. The project plans to plant about 88 million acres of forests. However, according to experts like Jennifer L. Turner - director of the China Environment Forum at the Washington-based Woodrow Wilson Center - "with the Great Green Wall, people plant a lot of trees in big ceremonies to stop desertification, but then no one really takes care of them and they die." China also plans to create sustainable development zones like Schenzen by 2030. [...]

[...] Practices undertaken by China have shown that development and environmental protection are not contradictory but complementary. For example the Yangtze River Economic Belt generated 46.6% of the country's GDP in the first three quarters of 2020. Nevertheless, whatever the government's true motivations, awareness of the health hazard of pollution can only be beneficial, even if some, but not all, measures simply shift the pollution elsewhere. The environment is also a new tool of power within the international order. China intends to use it to establish its hegemony, as it can sometimes be a tool to achieve its political objectives. [...]
